DELL PowerEdge R930 4U rack server 4x Xeon E7-8867 v4 2.4GHz 16-core 1.5TB DDR4 4x 600GB SAS H730P

Four-socket Xeon server for memory-intensive

The Dell PowerEdge R930 is a 4U rack server populated with four Intel Xeon E7-8867 v4 processors, each running at 2.4 GHz with 16 cores. It ships with 1.5 TB of DDR4 registered ECC memory across 48 DIMM slots and a PERC H730P RAID controller managing four 600 GB 10K SAS drives. The system includes quad-port networking with two 1 GbE and two 10 Gb SFP+ interfaces, iDRAC8 Enterprise remote management, and four 1100 W platinum power supplies.

Verify rack space, power and memory expansion needs

Confirm your rack can accommodate a 4U chassis and that your power distribution units can deliver sufficient current for four 1100 W supplies. The motherboard provides 96 DDR4 slots in total, so plan future memory upgrades around the 48 already populated. Storage expansion uses 2.5-inch SAS or SATA bays behind the front bezel, and the H730P controller supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60. Network connectivity requires SFP+ transceivers for the 10 Gb ports.

Redundant platinum power supplies

Four hot-plug 1100 W 80+ Platinum power supplies share the load and provide N+1 redundancy for continuous operation. The 4U form factor allows high-volume airflow across the processor and memory zones, keeping the four 16-core Xeons within thermal limits under sustained compute tasks. Fan speeds are managed by iDRAC8 and will ramp up during heavy workloads, producing audible noise typical of dense enterprise rack servers.
